Nottinghamshire / Re: Little Morton Farm, Babworth - is this still a working farm today?

Hello again, it's been a while since I visited this site!  Can I help ID any photos? You can see some of our photos at www.howardfarms.co.uk. There are some of the farm from years ago on our history pages.

Hi - thanks for the speedy reply!

I have some records which basically go back to when we took on the tenancy in 1887, but there are no records of employees as such.

I have put a request into the National Trust at Clumber park to see if their archives hold any records about the farm. The Clumber estate used to belong to the Duke of Newcastle (from whom we used to rent the farm) and was acquired by the NT some time ago - I am hopeful they have kept some records as they are generally quite good at that sort of thing! I will let you know how I get on.
Regards, Andrew.

Hi

Just found this thread after some idle browsing. I live at Little Morton Farm, and our family has lived here since 1887, when the farm was rented from the Duke of Newcastle.

We have been farming continuously since we moved to Little Morton, and grow a wide range of crops and have a herd of aberdeen angus cattle. We also grow about 75% of the UK chantenay carrot crop.

We are just in the process of renovating the farmhouse, and will be moving into it in a couple of months.

What a small world!

Andrew Howard
